String theory remains elusive as a “provable” phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a significant step forward ...

After writing a 400-page book on string theory and then helping NOVA translate that book into a three-hour documentary, would Brian Greene, we wondered, have anything more to say about string theory?

String theory proclaims otherwise. According to string theory, if we could examine these particles with even greater precision—a precision many orders of magnitude beyond our present ...

String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments. It introduces the ...

Over recent months, a fair bit of mud has been slung in the theoretical physics community over the issue of string theory: has it failed to deliver as a 'theory of everything', and should we still ...

String theory, conceptualized more than 50 years ago as a framework to explain the formation of matter, remains elusive as a "provable" phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a ...

Scientist from the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster proves mathematical conjecture from string theory String theory is a part of mathematical physics that has led to significant advancements ...

String theory aims to explain all fundamental forces and particles in the universe—essentially, how the world operates on the smallest scales. Though it has not yet been experimentally verified ...
